Hello SuSE people,

About the 1st of September I upgraded my KDE to 3.5.7 on 10.2

After it installed Kmail would crash with a sigserv when I tried to open it. 
Had to back out to my old KDE on the disk.  Wrote to the list. Kevin Krammer 
(hope I got the name right) from KDE replied there was a problem with Kontact 
and the kdepim3 rpm effecting Kmail. It was being fixed as he wrote. 

Waited a few days and reinstalled the newer KDE upgrades with SMART. Same 
thing happened again. Kmail and Kontact would crash on opening them. Only 
this time I checked a little further and the two other users did not have the 
problem. But, I did have to back out again to be able to use Kmail myself.

While in the upgraded state, I compared my .kde files with the other users. 
There was one significant difference. They each had a Mail directory in their 
individual Home partitions which contained their mail directories. While mine 
did not. Mine was in .kde/share/apps/kmail.   Now, I have a great deal of 
mail about half in directories and about half in mailbox format. Most of the 
mailbox stuff is pretty old but valuable to me. 

Is it possible that this difference I pointed out is the problem? Also, is it 
possible to convert those mailboxes to directories without doing it one by 
one?

Sure would like to upgrade. Any help or ideas will sure be appreciated.

Bob S
